'ro ALL WHOM I'TzMAY CONCERTI: Be it known thatwe, GEORGE F. WRIGHT :ind WILLIAM OER, Jr., of Clinton, county of Worcester, and `State of Massachusetts, have invented n. new and useful Mode of Fastening Strings, Thread, or Wire in Direction-v Tags or Labels; and we doV hereby declare that the following is n full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

- The nature of our inventionl consists in the use'of a piece of pa steboard,or any suitable u iaterinl whose thickness corresponds with thedimeter 'of the Astring, or its equivalent, inserted into the loop of said string, and pasted or glued between the tagan'd the vheading-piece, thus uniting the whole together to form a. smooth and rm combination.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tag all complete. Red lines indicate what is covered by the heading-piece glued down upon it.

Figure 2 is a. view-of a. tag in theA same position, with the heading-piece lifted up, showing the string-loop passed through the small hole in the tag', and the piece .of pastebonrd inserted,befo re the'heading is gluedand 4 turned down upon it. l

f Figure 3 represents a circuler piece ofpnsteboard, or its equivalent.

Figure 4 is an edge view of same. f

' a a, in fig. 1, is the string, attached to the tug or label by passing into the small hole, and around the pasteboard b, or its equivalent, (as shown bythe red lines,)`ndout at the seme hole. v

b is a piece ofpasteboard, or`its eqiiivilentfglued in with the string, thread, or wire, between `the heading und body of the tag..

c, in tig. 2, is the lap or ai piece of material, and turned over, so as to cover the piece of pasteboard 6, end the loop ofthe stringa, to' form n heed ing to the tag, which shall be so firm end solid as to render it impossible to draw the string out. y

Having thus described our invention,`what we claim` as new and useful, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, i's-v v v l The use of a. circular or otherwise-shaped piece of pasteboard, or its equivalent, when inserted between the two thicknesses of the tag orl labeLaround which the string, or its equivalent, is looped, in the manner substantially as herein shown und described. y
